This book introduces the reader to the diversity of Celtic religious traditions, from the first millennium BC to the 20th century.

The author examines the fundamental elements of Celtic folk beliefs: sacred sites and ritual practices, polytheism in ancient Ireland and Britain, the sacred chronotope, the philosophy of the Druids and poets, and cosmology. Sharon MacLeod explores early Celtic ideas about the Otherworld, sacred plants and animals, and draws on Arthurian texts, medieval Welsh legends, fairy tales, and modern-era accounts of traditional healers and seers. The author views Celtic culture as key to understanding the history of ancient, medieval, and modern Europe.

This publication will be useful to historians, philologists, ethnographers, cultural scholars, and anyone interested in Celtic culture and religion.
